I wouldn't worry too much about it. My reagal used to do the same thing with my seabae. Only, he actually did touch it from time to time. I think he though he was part clown fish.
 BTA's aren't really "fish eaters" at the size most of us keeps them. The tang will probably feel a sting and move away, and if yours is a dumb as mine it will keep getting stung until it learns.

I agree. I have had BTAs for a long time and I've had more than one fish get a little too close...but none have ever been eaten. The only exception to this is of course if you have paid more than $100 for a fish...then expect it to be the one that gets eaten (it that whole "the more expensive the fish the greater something stupid will happen to it" rule).

No way a BTA can take down a healthy tang .. I wouldn't sweat it. BTA's are opportunistic scavengers, not predators. Carpets are the worst for taking down fish, they're just too sticky.
